Are you a RELIABLE DEAF PERSON, with STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS who is PASSIONATE about educating the public on the uniqueness of the Deaf community and their cultural needs?
Over the years many organizations have become aware that they lack knowledge and skill, needed to address the unique needs of many minority groups. Hospitals, School Boards, and Non-Profits have been investing in educational sessions for their staff such as Indigenous Cultural Agility Trainings, however the Canadian community, at large, is still very unaware of the unique needs and culture of the Deaf Community. Because of this Deaf Individuals are often underserved or inadequately served.
A local Community Living Society has experienced this problem first hand. They are attempting to service Deaf (and Deaf plus) individuals however are realizing they are in need of education. We are seeking a strong team of individuals who are willing and able to help them address their need so that they can care for the Deaf Community better, and with the care that they deserve!
So once again, are you a MATURE, PASSIONATE, DEAF INDIVIDUAL, WITH STRONG COMMUNICATION SKILLS that is interested in being part of consulting a local organization on the needs of the Deaf? If you are an interpreter, parent or anyone else who is FLUENT in ASL and with EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE of Deaf culture/needs you will also be considered; please reach out to me via text/email/Facebook or Instagram to discuss further.
